In the ever-evolving context of digitalization, navigating influencer communication remains to be a major challenge, as the concept of an authentic partnership is constantly adapting in the fast-paced social media realm.

Forskningen om svensk litteratur i fransk översättning är inte särskilt omfattande, men på senare tid har forskarna varit eniga om en aspekt: att andelen svenska kvinnliga författare som översatts till franska har ökat avsevärt under de senaste årtiondena. Syftet med denna forskning är att analysera hur svenska kvinnliga författare översatts och publicerats på franska, och hur översättningsprocesWhile research on Swedish literature in French translation is not particularly voluminous, researchers have recently been unanimous on one aspect: that the percentage of Swedish women writers translated into French has increased significantly in recent decades. The aim of this research is therefore how Swedish women are being translated and published in French, and how the translation process cont

Det här är ett arbetet som rör sig i gränsland. Det berör platsen där sociologi och psykologi möts, och utforskar därifrån gränsen som löper mellan normalitet och abnormalitet. I fokus står borderline personlighetssyndrom, en psykiatrisk diagnos som karaktäriseras av instabilitet i affekt, relationer och identitet. Diagnosen diskuteras här huvudsakligen utifrån en teori om att problematiken huvuds

In this paper, I argue skateboarding to be a ritualizing performance that acts as a catalyst for transformative energies and heightened emotional states. Aided by the sensory experience of riding a board, powerful feelings of connectedness and unity arise amongst those who practice skateboarding, so intense that they transgress day-to-day social boundaries and temporarily overcome the socioeconomi

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utforska hur olika faktorer kopplat till organisk marknadsföring på TikTok påverkar hur individer lockas till köp. TikTok är en sociala medieplattform som skiljer sig från tidigare plattformar då TikTok är innehållsdriven och inte följardriven.

Spam review detection has gathered significant attention within the Natural Language Processing (NLP) academic community, especially in recent years due to the growing reliance on online reviews for purchases and the increased uti- lization of Artificial Intelligence. The prevailing methods for identifying fraudulent reviews often concentrate on text-based features employing diverse techniques. Re

In the search for grasping how the everyday life experience for people with a disability is shaped in relation to the local social and political complexities in Cobija/Pando four themes are crucial to understand.

Hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck är ett stort samhällsproblem som drabbar många människor världen över. I mitt tidigare uppsatsarbete i sociologi på B-nivån om arbetet mot hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck bland pojkar och unga män framkom att deras position i hederskontexten ofta hamnade i skymundan. Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är därför att undersöka pojkars och unga mäns dolda dubbelro

Standardmodellen är idag fysikens mest konkreta beskrivning av universums minsta beståndsdelar. Den tillåter oss att kategorisera den synliga materian i sina grundläggande partiklar och beskriva deras växelverkan genom tre av de fyra fundamentala naturkrafterna; elektromagnetism, den starka kraften och den svaga kraften. Modellen har även lyckats förena beskrivningen av elektromagnetism och den svWith physicists actively exploring Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) theories that may fill in the gaps of the Standard Model (SM), a fundamental question arises: which parameters hold physical significance? In this thesis, we present our initial progress towards the development of a model-independent artificial intelligence framework designed for conducting parameter space scans in BSM scenarios. O

This study investigates how different acoustic environments and spelling manipulations affect the reading process by applying eye tracking methodology. Participants are asked to read sentences while either listening to babble noise or not being exposed to any acoustic stimuli. It was generally possible to understand semantic chunks of the babble noise but not the discourse. The reading material wa

Climate change is an urgent global issue affecting millions of people and several ecosystems. However, there is a significant gap between what has been done and what is needed for climate change adaptation. Conservation areas play a crucial role in responding to climate change by providing essential ecosystem services and supporting biodiversity and human adaptation. However, there is a lack of re
